Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mixed with fuel gases as specified artificial gas
Oxygen blended with hydrogen or hydrocarbons for fuel use shifts to heading 3811 for artificial gases.
If imported as complete filled medical oxygen analyzer or regulator set
If oxygen is integral to a finished instrument for measuring gas concentration, it falls under Chapter 90 instruments.
